Jackson, Wyoming Departure (in my new DC-9)


PDX Flyer

Recommended Posts

Awesome shots, of the most awesome jet airliner ever.

 

Uh oh...your purchase looks intruiging...who made it and what do you think of it so far?

 

Are there a lot of repaints available?

 

I hear you re: swearing off more planes though....hardly any time to fly my existing fleet, what with work and a nice sunny weekend and of course looking at everyone's nice screenshots. :)

It is the Sky Simulations DC-9.  Good exterior model.  Fair to Poor panel.  Interior sounds also kind of funky.  Would I buy again?  Absolutely yes because this is so darn much fun to fly.

 

It makes me want to also fly my Captain Sim 727 and my Justflight DC-8...I love both of these aircraft.  I looked at the Coolsky DC-9, but decided for the extra money, plus the $20 charge for each of three livery packs, that the Sky Simulations made sense.  Yes the Coolsky is supposed to have a better virtual cockpit.  Do you own that one and what do you think?

Nice PDX.  I remember decommissioning a bunch of these.  They were unbelievably great planes and all-around workhorses.  Love your shots!

 

Oh, I know what you mean too, I'm very seriously thinking about buying the 727 today.  I have so many planes and so little time, it's like a drug!  Orbx and planes, who could ask for more to be happy in life?

Hi PDX...I (surprisingly!) don't own ANY DC-9s....I probably should.

 

Or this 727 or DC-8 you speak of.

 

But then I probably can't hop around my San Juans in a DC-8!

Hello,

 

since you asked, I have the Coolsky version and regard it as one of my best aircraft models.

Here are a few images.

I was lucky enough to catch it in a seasonal sale in 2015 at the FlightStore uk on DVD for £12.50 delivered.
